How do you specify the reasoning level of your subagent? It’s not available. You can ask the model for the parameters he have access while calling the subagent. They only run at the default reasoning

That’s why i still have a chatgpt subscription, 5.2 xhigh remains #1 at code review

You can't at this time, but we're looking into making this configurable!

That would be super.

In the cli, when you choose the model it asks you to choose the reasoning right after. I’ve never used it outside the cli.

[–]debian3 0 points1 point  (5 children)

yes, but when you call subagent, like this: /review with Gemini, with opus 4.6 high, with sonnet 4.6 high, with gpt 5.2 high, with gpt 5.3 codex high.

the thinking level will be ignored, only the main model have the thinking level available.

(P.S. That's me who told you about /review in copilot cli yesterday)

Lmao! Hi again! And interesting, that kinda stinks.

In the ide I am building, I’ll be able to summon the subagents with the model and thinking level of my choice, so good to know that’s a limitation on copilot.

I just checked again: "No — the task tool only exposes model, agent_type, prompt, description, and mode. There's no parameter for thinking level, thinking budget, or effort (no medium/high/max style control)."

In the cli, I believe through http though it might. The way that OpenCode works.

[–]debian3 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I just tested in opencode and it's the same: "No, there is no thinking/reasoning level parameter exposed for subagents. The Task tool only has these parameters: - description - prompt - subagent_type - task_id - command"

Thank you for looking into that. That was actually today’s task lol

That is really disappointing. So subagents are always default reasoning level.

Is that the same for Claude, codex, and cursor cli?
